One of Bernadette’s true passions included volunteering at Doylestown Hospital, where she made an enormous impact in every life she touched. In her free time, Bernadette enjoyed watching the Phillies and baking pies. Above all, Bernadette’s greatest pleasure in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and her friends.
Bernadette will be dearly missed by her children, David Jones (Rosemary), Steven Jones, and Cathy Leopold (Matt); her grandchildren, Scott Jones (Leah), Courtney Jones, Danielle Bogage (Jacob), Mia Leopold, and Abigail Leopold; her siblings, Norma Reimer and Edward Wood.
Services will be held privately.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at the Doylestown Hospital for years of friendship, as well as the compassionate care she received as a patient at the hospital.
